One of the first steps of online games is to pick an icon to represent you and your account. The same thing goes for Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket. Yes, that is the game’s full government name. The great thing about these profile icons is you can choose which one you like best or you feel represents you.

Giovanni Profile Icon
Team Rocket Representation
Not all villains are made to be hated. Team Rocket has held a special place in the hearts of many Pokemon fans across all the games, the anime, and even with many generations of bad guys that have followed. No one does it quite the same as Team Rocket.
While maybe not as recognized as Jessie and James, Giovanni is the leader of the Team and should be feared as a powerful foe. Now you can send that same message to your rivals on the digital battlefield by selecting this as your profile picture.

Blue Profile Icon
Not An Enemy But A Frenemy?
Blue may not be a bad guy, per se, but he is Red’s direct competitor in the Pokemon series dating back to the first games released on the Game Boy. But these aren’t retro graphics or pixels in what is now, sadly, a vintage game. Instead, we get a nice, crisp profile icon of the trainer and Champion of the Indigo Plateau.

Here are the rarest Mythical Island cards in Pokemon Pocket!
For some, this might be the closest human character either to their appearance or, for some reason, they purely want to pick a human instead of a Pokemon. Either way, this is a solid option. Especially if you do know about Blue, either from playing the original Pokemon Red and Blue titles or simply like his character design.
8
Venusaur Profile Icon
Are They Using Solar Beam?
Now, let’s look at some actual Pokemon pictures. This Venusaur profile picture is one showing an active battle scene, or at least a moment when they have to fire an attack at another Pokemon. The first of the Gen One starters has beautiful particles around the top of their image as you can just make out some sort of massive attack, maybe a Solar Beam?
No matter what attack is being fired or the situation this Venusaur finds itself in, it makes for a formidable profile icon, especially if you are primarily using a Grass-type deck. Of course, there doesn’t have to be a typing correlation; you can pick it because they are your favorite, or you want to send a message that you’re going to put up a fight.
7
Gardevoir Profile Icon
Is Anyone Else Craving A Pokemon Resort Stay?
Ah, to be a Gardevoir soaking up the sun during the golden hour. Well, metaphorically, you can be if you pick this as your profile picture. While locked behind the Genetic Apex mission to collect five Gardevoir cards, once you do, you can use this image of the blissful and beautiful Embrace Pokemon.

Want to show off your Pokemon Pocket card collection in style? These are some of the best binder options you can use.
Just like with all the other images, you pick the one you like the most. It could be that Gardevoir is your favorite Pokemon, that this is your favorite illustration of the bunch, or you just want to manifest a much-needed vacation where you too, can absorb all those same sunbeams. Just do so healthily.
6
Electrode Profile Icon
Shockingly Adorable
Electrode might not have the same fan base that some of the other heavy hitters on this list do. After all, how many people have you heard personally say Electrode is their favorite Pokemon? You might be able to count that number of your fingers, if at all.
However, with the crocheted style and the determined look, this is a fun, funky profile picture to choose from. Unlike some that give the impression of a fierce fight or being calm and relaxed, this hits that sweet spot in between. Maybe you’re a cocky trainer? Maybe you like to have fun with your fights instead? The point is that the other trainer will have no idea what to expect.
5
Pikachu Profile Icon
Round Pikachu Superiority
Look at how beautiful this old-school Pikachu looks. Back when Pikachu was a round, happy lad (or lass, we can’t see their tail after all). Besides the fact that this card depicts the beloved early design of an even more beloved mascot, this icon is free to use as soon as you download the app.

Here’s every card you can get from the Pikachu Genetic Apex pack.
While free doesn’t always mean good, this player icon is a good one and will most likely be the choice of many Pikachu fans, both those who are already playing and those who will join the ranks in the future. So, whether Kanto was your first region or you just really like the design, you can join those other Pikachu fans by setting this as your icon.
4
Charizard Profile Icon
Dynamic And Mighty
Speaking of popular Pokemon, Charizard stocks are through the roof. And they should be. They are just well-designed and a very powerful Pokemon to boot. And this icon, similar to the Venusaur one, can send the message that you are ready to fight whoever comes your way.
Another similarity Charizard has is with Gardevoir: this card is unlocked after collecting five of, specifically, the three diamond Charizard cards. So get that ex stuff out of here because, sadly, those cards don’t count toward the mission. So, open the packs if you got them. Or purchase the cards with some of those Pack Points.
Pack Points are what you collect after opening every single pack. You’ll find them in the lower right-hand corner when you are on the Booster Pack screen, depicting an icon of a little open pack of cards.
3
Chimchar Profile Icon
Fire-Type Trainers Stay Winning
Chimchar isn’t the most popular starter Pokemon. And given that they have to compete with heavy hitters like Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur, it’s probably not all that shocking. But, unlike the icons that depict the grown-up versions of those Gen One starters firing off powerful attacks, Chimchar is just happy to be here.

Look out for these cards when opening the Palkia pack.
It’s a player icon that depicts very gleeful emotions, and so, if you’re here more to collect cards than you are to battle, this is one of those great options that show you as a friend and not a foe. Though, of course, you could have a rad Infernape deck in your Pocket. No one’s going to know.
2
Piplup Profile Icon
Another Happy Little Buddy
So many Pokemon are just friend-shaped. And Piplup is one of those that has a lot of fans who’ve loved them from the moment they popped out of a Pokeball in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. And, even if Piplup isn’t your favorite Pokemon, this illustration might be.
Similar to the Chimchar icon, Piplup just looks so excited and happy in this picture, making it so that if you are looking to connect with people or battle with friends, you can have a profile picture that matches that same energy. Or you can be happily dancing on the graves of the Pokemon cards you’ve beaten in battles. You know, pick your Poison Jab.
1
Mew Profile Icon
Maybe Not The First, But One Of The Best
Some fans will argue until they are Red in the face that Mew is the first Pokemon. After all, in the long, ever-twisting lore of Pokemon, it is said that Mew holds within them the DNA of all other Pokemon. But whether you buy into Mew being first or not, this mythical Pokemon is endearing and this illustration is stunning.
This Mew icon is locked away the same way the Charizard one is. You have to collect three of Mew’s three diamond cards in the Mythical Island expansion packs. So, if you want this profile icon, you’ll probably be pulling from that single set for a while.
When it comes to unlocking profile icons that require you to get multiple copies of a certain card, it doesn’t matter how you obtain the cards. This can be through opening packs, wonder picking, or trading cards with other players.
